New app for asthma sufferers

About one in nine Australians – 2.7 million people – suffer from asthma, according to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare. At least 421 people died from the disease in 2015 and the mortality rate is stubbornly hard to shift.
Medical technology innovator Respiri aims to change this with a new connected device, dubbed Wheezo, which records breath sounds to detect and measure ‘‘wheeze rate’’ – the extent of the coarse whistling sound produced when the airways are narrowed and inflamed.
